Re: Oven doesn't maintain temperature

Make sure you're oven is vented properly. I had this problem - the oven turned on and reached the proper temperature then didn't maintain it. No one could figure it out until I had them pull out the oven and we realized the cabinet installers had somehow reversed the botton drawer box so there was no venting and the oven is autotmatically set to turn off for safety reasons when it reaches a certain temperature for x-amount of minutes (I can't remember what that is). A quick solution was to open the bottom drawer for venting until the cabinet could be fixed.

When an oven doesn't maintain the set temperature, first make sure no one is allowing the heat to escape by opening its door. If not, the oven control either needs to be re-calibrated or replaced. To have the control replaced, call an appliance service person.

It is inside the oven, and comes out/goes in pretty easily, but you have to be careful when removing the old one, not to loose the wires in the hole, because then you have to pull the unit out from the wall and remove the back in order to plug the new one in.

Technician just left our house with same issue. Jenn-Air had issued a technical bulletin as the temperature probe is mounted directly to the heating element, and measures the heat of the element, not the oven. Their fix is a revised temperature probe that goes at a 90 degree angle away from the heating element.

If your temperature is consistent, just off by a set amount of degrees, there is an adjustment you can make at the control panel.

HiThis means a loose/broken wire on the oven temp sensor or the sensor is bad and should be replaced. To solve this issue start by checking the oven temp. sensor for 1100 ohms, if the rating is more then that then check the control board however, as the issue is only with upper oven it is most likely that the temperature sensor is bad and should be replaced. Hope this helps...please post back for further assistance.Daniel
